1 1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE MATERIAL AND SUPPLIER Product Name: Rocor stud adhesive Other Names: Not applicable Recommended Use: Water based filled acrylic adhesive for bonding plasterboard to wood or metal. Apply with putty knife Company: H. B. Fuller Company Address: Red Gum Drive, Dandenong South VIC 3175 Telephone: (03) Emergency Telephone No: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION Not classified as hazardous according to criteria of Worksafe Australia 3. COMPOSITION Ingredients: CHEMICAL ENTITY CAS NO PROPORTION Calcium carbonate High Water Low Acrylic latex Not available High Other ingredients determined not to be hazardous Not applicable Low Low <10% Med % High 30-60% V High >60% 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Swallowed: If swallowed, rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Give one glass of water or milk. Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical advice if any ill effects persist Eyes: Use an eye wash to remove a chemical from your eye regardless of the level of hazard. Flush the affected eye for at least twenty minutes. Tilt the head to prevent chemical from transferring to the uncontaminated eye. Seek medical advice after flushing. Skin: Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Inhaled: Remove victim from exposure - avoid becoming a casualty. Remove contaminated clothing and loosen remaining clothing. Allow patient to assume most comfortable position and keep warm. Keep at rest until fully recovered. Contact a doctor is symptoms persist. Page 1 of 5

2 First Aid Facilities: Have eye wash available when exposure may occur Advice to Doctor Treat symptomatically 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flash point: Auto ignition temperature Lower explosive limit (% in air): Upper explosive limit (% in air): Extinguishing media: Unusual fire and explosion hazards: Special fire fighting instructions: Hazardous combustion products: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. None Persons exposed to products of combustion should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment. Non flammable paste. In the dry state, burning may emit hazardous fumes 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Special protection: Clean-up: Follow personal protective equipment recommendations found in Section 8 of this MSDS. Additional precautions may be necessary based on special circumstances created by the spill including; the material spilled, the quantity of the spill, the area in which the spill occurred. Contain - prevent contamination of waterways and drains. If the quantity spilled warrants it, immobilise it first using an absorbent and then transfer to a suitably labelled and sealable containers for disposal. Dispose strictly in accordance with local industrial waste disposal and environmental protection regulation. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling: Not considered Dangerous Goods as defined by the Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail Storage: Store in a cool dry place. Do not store in direct sunlight or below 5 C. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Exposure standards [NOHSC: 1004 (2004)].

Carbon monoxide and other harmful gases may be emitted upon burning. 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Potential health effects by route of exposure Eye: Direct eye contact with the product may cause irritation. Skin: Mild irritant. Page 3 of 5

4 Inhilation: Vapour pressure is so low that inhalation does not present a problem under normal conditions. No adverse effects are expected. Ingestion: No data is available. No adverse effects are expected. May cause abdominal discomfort if swallowed in large quantities. Long term (chronic) health effects Reproductive: None established Target organ(s): Luings: The calcium carbonate in this product may contain a small amount of respirable crystalline silica. Respirable crystalline silica has been classified as a Group 2A carcinogen (The agent is probably carcinogenic to humans) by IRAC. Chronic exposure to high levels of crystalline silica may lead to impaired lung function and cause silicosis. This hazard is not present in the product as supplied. However when cutting, sanding or drilling the DRY product with power tools, a suitable dust mask (for selection guide see AS 1715) should be worn. Skin:Repeated or prolonged contact with product may cause irritation of eyes or skin. Existing health conditions affected by exposure: None established 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Overview: No ecological information available 13. DISPOSAL Dispose strictly in accordance with local industrial waste disposal and environmental protection regulation. 14.
